MALAPPURAM: Steps will be taken to alleviate the concerns of the people whose land will be acquired for the development of the Kozhikode airport runway, said Sports Minister V Abdurahiman on Monday. He was speaking at a meeting held here to discuss the matters related to the land acquisition.
Malappuram MP Abdussamad Samadani, Kondotty MLA T V Ibrahim, Kozhikode airport director R Mahalingam and District Collector V R Premkumar were present.
A technical committee will meet the land owners to allay their fears. “The land will be acquired only after providing compensation to the people. The land owners will get the same package as the people who handed over their land for the national highway development,” he said.
